Definitions
- the present invention is directed generally to a vascular prosthesis which is useful in repair or replacement of a branched section of a blood vessel. More particularly, the present invention provides a textile vascular graft which is substantially fluid-tight and which is particularly useful in branched end-to-side anastomoses.
- tubular textile fabrics for soft-tissue implantable prostheses is well known in the repair or replacement of damaged or diseased lumens in the body.
- tubular devices or conduits are used to repair lumens such as in the esophagus and colon areas, and, in particular, prostheses are used in the vascular system to repair, buttress or replace a weakened section of the vessel.
- Such conduits are generally affixed in a specified location in the vessel by means of sutures, stents, hooks or other mechanisms which serve to secure the device in place.
- Synthetic vascular grafts for the repair or replacement of blood vessels have taken a wide variety of configurations and shapes.
- the most common type of vascular graft is that manufactured in a generally tubular form extending along a longitudinal axis.
- Such tubular vascular grafts are particularly well suited for use in end-to-end anastomoses, i.e., where the damaged portion of the blood vessel is dissected and the ends of the tubular graft are connected to the cut ends of the blood vessel to span the dissected portion.
- These tubular grafts may also be used in end-to-side anastomoses, i.e., where the end of a graft tube is typically attached to the side of a blood vessel.
- Such tubular vascular grafts are also useful in percutaneous applications, where the graft is inserted percutaneously and is positioned to span a damaged or diseased portion of a blood vessel without dissection.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,156,619 discloses a flanged end-to-side vascular graft which is provided in the form of a tubular vascular graft having a flared end portion.
- Such a graft is cannibalized, i.e., cut, from a conventional bifurcated graft structure which includes a main tubular section and two smaller branched tubular sections.
- the bifurcated graft is cut along an arcuate segment at the bifurcated arch between the bifurcated tubular sections and along the wall of the main tubular section, to provide a single tubular graft with a flanged end formed from the arcuate cut.
- the flanged end typically requires stitching along the flanged portion, since bifurcated textile grafts of the prior art typically require suturing at the bifurcated portion in order to be blood-tight.
- the flanged graft in the '619 patent is constructed of only a single tube with a flange at one end, it is designed to be attached to an end of a blood vessel, and is not suitable for repair or replacement of a branched section of a blood vessel. Still further, the graft disclosed in the '619 patent is designed to extend from the blood vessel at a gradually sloping angle, and would not be appropriate for applications where an end-to-side graft is required which incorporates a branch extending substantially perpendicular to a main tubular section.
- end-to-side vascular graft in which the side branch portion extends substantially perpendicular from the main portion to replace a portion of a blood vessel or to be positioned within a portion of a vessel which splits into one or more branch vessels.
- true end-to-side vascular grafts have been constructed with branch portions which extend generally perpendicular to the main tubular section.
- Such end-to-side vascular grafts have typically been constructed by suturing one tubular vascular graft to the side of a second tubular vascular graft.
- Such end-to-side vascular grafts are used, for example, to repair or replace a damaged or diseased portion of the aorta.
- an aortic vascular prosthesis which includes a main aortic trunk portion and arterial branch portions extending generally perpendicular to the main aortic trunk portion for the left and right carotid arteries and the subclavian artery is particularly well suited.
- a surgeon will typically suture three separate straight tubular vascular grafts to the side of a larger tubular graft. Such suturing, however, usually occurs immediately prior to or during a procedure, is labor intensive and requires extreme skill and precision in suturing, thereby introducing the potential for human error.
- Prior art end-to-side vascular grafts such as the aforementioned aortic vascular prostheses have not been completely successful.
- the attachment of one tubular graft to the side of another tubular graft results in a sharp transition, typically with an immediate transition of 90° from the main tubular section to the branched tubular section.
- such attachment results in suturing or stitching directly at the point of transition between the main tubular section and the branched tubular section.
- Such sharp transitioning and suturing at this transition result in poor blood flow through the transitional portion, and can lead to an undesirable thrombosis at the transition.
- custom-made aortic vascular prostheses can be constructed. While these custom-made structures may overcome some of the aforementioned deficiencies, they are extremely expensive and time-consuming to fabricate.
- vascular graft which is useful in repair or replacement of a branched section of a blood vessel which is substantially blood-tight and includes a gradual transition from the main lumen to the branched lumen, and which does not include any suturing directly at the lumen transition.
- an implantable tubular textile prosthesis which includes a first portion including an elongate tubular main wall which defines a fluid passageway therethrough, and a second portion including a tubular branch wall which extends laterally from the tubular main wall and which defines a fluid passageway therethrough.
- the tubular branch wall includes an elongate tubular extent and a contiguous flared tubular extent.
- the tubular branch wall is secured to the tubular main wall at the flared tubular extent to establish fluid communication between the passageways of the tubular main wall and the tubular branch wall.
- the flared tubular extent incorporates a gradual increase in diameter with respect to the tubular branch extent to provide a seamless and substantially fluid-tight transition between the tubular main wall and the tubular branch wall along the flared tubular extent.
- the flared tubular extent may include a textile pattern which has a plurality of warp yarns and fill yarns and incorporates a gradual change in the number of warp yarns with respect to the fill yarns.
- the gradual change is preferably defined by a change of no more than 3 warp yarns for every 2 fill yarns in the textile pattern.
- the prosthesis of the present invention is a textile product, and is preferably constructed of textile materials such as woven materials, knitted materials, braided materials, and mixtures thereof.
- the textile material may be any known material, for example, polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyurethane, polytetrafluoroethylene and mixtures thereof.
- the tubular main wall of the prosthesis may be straight, or, more preferably, may be arched, for example, by pre-forming into the shape of an aorta, with the elongate tubular extent extending substantially perpendicular from the main tubular wall.
- the prosthesis may include a plurality of elongate tubular extents at the tubular branch portion, and preferably includes three elongate tubular extents, for anastomosis with the left, right and subclavian arteries, respectively.
- the plurality of elongate tubular extents may be of equal or different diameters and lengths.
- the plurality of elongate tubular extents are spaced along an axis with respect to the tubular main wall, and are circumferentially offset with respect to the tubular main wall.
- the prosthesis may further include an elongate tubular port extending laterally from the tubular main wall at a location remote from the tubular branch wall, which is particularly useful during implantation procedures.

- Tubular branch 30 may extend laterally from tubular main wall 21 at any angle with respect thereto. Most preferably, tubular branch 30 extends substantially perpendicularly from tubular main wall 21 .
- tubular branch 30 may also be constructed of any known textile material.
- tubular branch 30 may be a textile material selected from the group consisting of woven material, knitted material, braided material, and the like.
- tubular main portion 20 and tubular branch portion 30 are constructed of similar textile material, for instance, woven textile material.
- Tubular branch wall 31 includes an elongate tubular extent 32 and a flared tubular extent 34 contiguous therewith. Additionally, tubular branch 30 includes branch lumen 35 defining a fluid passageway therethrough. Tubular branch wall 31 is of a generally constant internal diameter along the length of elongate tubular extent 32 . At flared tubular extent 34 , however, the internal diameter of tubular branch wall 31 gradually changes, in that it increases or flares with respect to elongate tubular extent 32 .
- tubular branch 30 may include a plurality of elongate tubular extents, as best depicted in FIG. 3, which shows branch 30 including three distinct elongate tubular extents 32 a , 32 b and 32 c .
- Elongate tubular extents 32 a , 32 b and 32 c are preferably equally spaced along an axis with respect to tubular main portion 20 .
- elongate tubular extents 32 a , 32 b and 32 c may be axially spaced and circumferentially offset with respect to tubular main wall 21 of tubular main portion 20 , as best depicted in FIGS. 4 and 7.
- Prosthesis 10 including a plurality of elongate tubular extents 32 a , 32 b and 32 c is particularly useful as an aortic arch vascular graft.
- each tubular extent 32 a , 32 b and 32 c includes a flared portion 33 a , 33 b and 33 c which is adjacent and contiguous with flared tubular extent 34 and includes junctures 36 a and 36 b between tubular extents 32 a , 32 b and 32 c .
- flared tubular extent 34 is contiguous with elongate tubular extents 32 a , 32 b and 32 c.
- Elongate tubular extents 32 a , 32 b and 32 c may be of the same length as shown in FIG. 3, or may be of different lengths independently, as shown in FIG. 4 .
- Each of elongate tubular extents 32 a , 32 b and 32 c includes a generally constant internal diameter along the length thereof, and include branch lumens 35 a , 35 b and 35 c , respectively, extending therethrough.

- tubular branch 30 includes a plurality of elongate tubular extents 32 a , 32 b and 32 c
- the internal diameter of flared tubular extent 34 gradually changes in a similar manner as with the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 in that it increases or flares along the length of flared tubular extent 34 .
- Flared tubular extent 34 of tubular branch 30 is secured to tubular main wall 21 of tubular main portion 20 along a portion thereof, for example, by sutures 15 . As such, a path of fluid communication between main lumen 25 of tubular main portion 20 and branch lumen 35 of tubular branch 30 is established, thereby providing a passageway for blood flow therethrough. Since flared tubular extent 34 incorporates a gradual change in the diameter of tubular branch 32 , a smooth and unobstructed path for blood flow is accomplished at the transition to elongate tubular branch 32 .
- flared tubular extent 34 provides for a smooth transition from main lumen 25 of tubular main portion 20 to branch lumen 35 of tubular branch 30 , as opposed to the sharp transition encountered with prior art end-to-side vascular prostheses, as depicted in FIG. 1 and discussed above. Furthermore, in embodiments incorporating a plurality of elongate tubular extents 32 a , 32 b and 32 c including branch lumens 35 a , 35 b and 35 c , respectively, extending therethrough, branch lumens 35 a , 35 b and 35 c converge and contiguously join with flared tubular extent 34 at junctures 36 a and 36 b .

- FIG. 5 depicts a view of the prior art prosthesis 10 ′ as in FIG. 1, showing a cutaway portion of tubular main wall 21 ′ at the location of securement of tubular branches 30 a ′, 30 b ′ and 30 c ′ viewed from within main lumen 25 ′.
- Such individual suturing directly at the transition from main lumen 25 ′ to branch lumens 35 a ′, 35 b ′ and 35 c ′ results in undesirable bulking directly at the point of lumen transition, which can lead to thrombosis at the lumen transition.
- FIG. 5 depicts a view of the prior art prosthesis 10 ′ as in FIG. 1, showing a cutaway portion of tubular main wall 21 ′ at the location of securement of tubular branches 30 a ′, 30 b ′ and 30 c ′ viewed from within main lumen 25 ′.

- Sutures 15 are provided at a location spaced from the transition between main lumen 25 of tubular main portion 20 and branch lumens 35 a , 35 b and 35 c of tubular branch 30 .
- prosthesis 10 does not include any suturing directly at the transition between main lumen 25 and branch lumens 35 a , 35 b and 35 c , in that such lumen transition is accomplished gradually over the length of flared tubular extent 34 .
- flared portions 33 a , 33 b and 33 c of each tubular branch 32 a , 32 b and 32 c together with junctures 36 a and 36 b therebetween establish a gradual transition region for the path of blood flow between main lumen 25 and branch lumens 35 a , 35 b and 35 c .
- undesirable thrombosis at the lumen transition is reduced as compared with prior art grafts, in that prosthesis 10 of the present invention does not incorporate a sharp transition from one lumen to another and does not include any sutures directly at the transition.
- Prosthesis 10 may further include an elongate tubular port 40 extending laterally from tubular main wall 21 of tubular main portion 20 .
- Tubular port 40 includes tubular port wall 41 which defines port lumen 45 extending therethrough.
- Tubular port 40 is secured to tubular main wall 21 of tubular main portion 20 , for example by way of port sutures 16 .
- port lumen 45 is in fluid communication with main lumen 25 of tubular main portion 20 .
- Tubular port 40 is provided as a procedural aid for use during surgical implantation procedures. For example, oftentimes it is desirable to access main lumen 25 of prosthesis 10 during a surgical procedure from outside of the body. Tubular port 40 provides a means for such access. Tubular port 40 is not meant for anastomosis to any part of the body, but is provided for temporary use during a surgical procedure. After completion of an implant procedure, tubular port 40 is preferably ligated and tied off, for example by way of sutures, to provide a completely closed main lumen 25 .
- tubular port 40 extends from tubular main wall 21 at a location remote from tubular branch 30 .
- tubular port 40 extends substantially perpendicularly from
- tubular main wall 21 at a 90° angle with respect to laterally extending tubular branch 30 , as best depicted in FIG. 7 .
- Prosthesis 10 is preferably capable of maintaining a blood-tight atmosphere at the time of implantation.
- a natural or synthetic sealant may be incorporated into the textile structure, as is known in the art.
- collagen may be incorporated into the textile structure of prosthesis 10 to act as a sealant.
- Such collagen is typically resorbed by the body over time, and is replaced with native tissue, which further serves to anchor prosthesis 10 in place within the body.
- the prosthesis of the present invention is constructed of textile material, such as a woven, knitted or braided material.
- textile materials are particularly useful in vascular graft applications, in that the textile pattern of the material can be constructed to be very pliable and capable of permitting sufficient ingrowth of surrounding tissue, while also being capable of maintaining a fluid-tight, i.e., blood-tight wall structure.
- the textile prosthesis of the present invention is preferably a woven material, and can be woven using any known weave pattern, including simple weaves, basket weaves, twill weaves, velour weaves and the like, and is most preferably woven using a flat plain tubular weave pattern, preferably with about 100-200 warp yarns per inch per layer and about 70-120 fill yarns per inch per layer, more preferably with about 170-190 warp yarns per inch per layer and about 86-90 fill yarns per inch per layer.
- the wall thickness of the graft may be any conventional useful thickness, but is preferably no greater than about 1.0 mm, with the most preferable wall thickness being from about 0.10 mm to about 0.75 mm.
- any type of textile product can be used as the yarns or fibers of the present invention.
- synthetic materials such as a thermoplastic polymers.
- Thermoplastic yarns suitable for use in the prostheses of the present invention include, but are not limited to, polyesters, polypropylenes, polyethylenes, polyurethanes, polytetrafluoroethylenes, and mixtures thereof.
- the yarns may be of the monofilament, multifilament, or spun type.
- the yarns used in forming the grafts of the present invention may be flat, twisted or textured, and may have high, low or moderate shrinkage properties. Additionally, the yarn type and yarn denier can be selected to meet specific properties for the prosthesis, such as porosity, flexibility and compliance.
- the yarn denier represents the linear density of the yarn (number of grams mass divided by 9,000 meters of length). Thus, a yarn with a small denier would correspond to a very fine yarn whereas a yarn with a larger denier, e.g., 1000, would correspond to a heavy yarn.
- the yarns used in the prosthesis of the present invention preferably have a denier from about 20 to about 1000, more preferably from about 40 to about 300.
- the warp and fill yarns are polyester, and most preferably the warp and fill yarns are one ply, 50 denier, 48 filament flat polyester.
- prosthesis 10 and in particular tubular main portion 20 and tubular branch 30 are independently constructed of woven textile material.
- Woven tubular textile products are particularly useful in manufacturing vascular graft products in that a variety of unique shapes and sizes can now be accomplished.
- unique tubular woven textile products such as vascular grafts are seamless woven into a variety of shapes and sizes to manufacture blood-tight conduits.
- seamless, tapered, blood-tight tubular-woven textile grafts including bifurcated and trifurcated structures which are substantially blood-tight at the juncture between the bi- and trifurcations, and therefore do not require any additional stitching or suturing to maintain a blood-tight wall.
- the transition from a graft section of one diameter to a graft section of another diameter, as in the transition from elongate tubular extents 32 a , 32 b and 32 c to flared tubular extent 34 must be accomplished in fluid-tight applications without creating such voids between the contiguous weave sections which are generally greater than the diameter of three warp yarns.
- transition from one diameter to another diameter can be accomplished by gradually engaging and/or disengaging selected warp yarns from the weave pattern. Such a transition can be effectively accomplished by engaging or disengaging a maximum of three warp yarns per four successive machine picks for a given weave pattern on each edge of the graft, as is discussed in more detail in U.S. application Ser. No. 08/653,028, incorporated herein by reference.
- transition from one diameter to another diameter can be accomplished in the fabric by a post-manufacturing technique, such as heat-shaping, shrink-fitting, molding, and the like.
- the tubular branch 30 is constructed of textile material, for example, by weaving, knitting or braiding.
- Tubular branch 30 may then be fitted onto a mandrel in a desired shape, such as a flared shape, and may be heat-shrunk to set the fibers of the fabric into the desired flared shape of the mandrel. Upon removal from the mandrel, tubular branch 30 is set to the desired flared shape.
- tubular branch 30 is particularly useful as tubular branch 30 in the prosthesis of the present invention.
- a trifurcated tubular structure can be manufactured in a seamless, tubular-woven form, to create a substantially fluid-tight structure.
- Such structure can then be secured to a separate tubular graft structure in the form of tubular main portion 20 at tubular main wall 21 .
- prosthesis 10 is produced which incorporates a gradual transitional change in diameter from main tubular lumen 25 to branch lumens 35 a , 35 b and 35 c , which transition is seamless along the length thereof and does not require additional stitching to maintain a fluid-tight construction.
